Flat Out: The Art of Joshua Vides
At the Petersen Automotive Museum in LA, Joshua Vides has turned a gallery of cars into a walk-in black-and-white drawing.
The Los Angeles-based artist’s exhibition, Flat Out: The Art of Joshua Vides, takes over the Armand Hammer Foundation Gallery with five hand-painted vehicles, tire stacks, gas pumps, wall graphics, and oversized garage signage, all rendered in his crisp monochrome line-work.
The space reads at first like an auto body shop stripped of color. Familiar objects of car culture are still there, but Vides flattens them into something closer to a full-scale sketch, using black lines to trace seams, shadows, panels, and edges across every surface.
